she. True, for certain says 1. 4 just

going to get right off this expedition
and go back home. But / thought I'd
make sure about it, and SO | says to her
It's big stretch before we get to Utah,
and I'll Just investigated and did. At
first the agent said it was great mis-
take. The Mormons are a deeply relig-
ious people, who lived on the fat of the
land, and there was no truth in the wife
story. This satisfied us, and we went on
piece. Finally / made up my mind that
everything was all right, and not until
this morning that one of the fellers drop
ped a remark that opened my eyes. When
l taxed him with it he said right out that
he was going TO have fifteen wives if he
lived long enough, and when / made a
disturbance to the boss about it he finally
confessed. That was enough for us. He
tried to quiet us down, but he couldn't.
We told him we were a-going to get off at
the first stop, and that if he interfered
with us weed put the law on him. He
didn't have nothing to say after that, only
to try and get us to keep still. That's how
we came here.

ST.. PAUL, June 1.-THE convention of
the railroad commissioners of the North
western states this morning passed the
following resolution:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this con
ventIon the phrase, ''under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions, in
the fourth section of the inters tate law
is to be construed literally and that a
lower rate to the manufacturer or pro-
ducor is not in conflict with the spirit of
this section of that law, provided that all
persons and localities under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions are
treated alike as they would respectfully
ask from the interstate commerce com
mission an official Interpretation of the
section.
The secretary, to whom was referred
the matter of having uniform blanks for
returns to be made by railroad compa-
MES, recommended that no change be
made this year, but that the Interstate
commission call general convention of
railroad commissioners to consider the
matter and adopt uniform blanks. Re
port adopted.
The committee on freight classification
reported, calling the attention of the in
ter-state commission to the utility and
Importance of maintaining a uniform
classification covering the railroad freight
traffic of the entire country. A reso
luton strongly approving section five
of the Interstate law and asking its en-
forcement by the national and state com
missions was passed. After the discus
sion of safety appliances of freight cars,
a resolution was passed declaring it the
imperative duty of railroad companies to
egpin their freight cars as~S2St ea Prae
ticably possible with safety or
automatic coupling draw bars, and
with power brakes, and also,
that unless the railway companies
commence this work within a certain
time that it be the duty of the railroad
commissioners to recommend the enact
ment of proper laws looking to the ac-
complishment of this much desired end.
In reference to the Sunday work ques
ton the commissioners strongly recon
mend that no more trains be run on Sun
day than is mperatiyely necessary to the
public welfare. The executive committee
was given power TO call the next meeting
at any time before congress convened.
